Practicing Delivery of the Presentation

        Beginners have to practice the actual delivery of the speech. No matter how much time and care you have spent on preparing the text, the delivery is largely responsible for the success of the speech.

        Rehearsal enables you to test if the language and style are suitable for speech. Reading out loud is not enough. Only an attempt to deliver it to the audience will show whether the words are natural and comfortable in speech.

         Practice till you are “conversationally comfortable” with the material.

         The practice also helps to check the timing; you can shorten or lengthen the speech as required. In the beginning, the written test will be longer than required for the given time. If you are a beginner, you should practice speaking out several times; first practice in front of a mirror, then practice in front of many helpful audiences that can be collected, such as a group of close friends or family who will give useful and proper feedback.

        It is worth making full dress rehearsal for your comfort. Never learn the speech by heart, it creates dependence, and if you forget even a single word it can cause you great confusion and you can forget the rest of the presentation that you prepared using so much time.
